minus-squareazertyfun@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up42·7 months agoI am not American and have never been anywhere close to either of these stores and have no fucking idea what a blue light special or whatever is. The good thing about comedy though is that anyone with half a brain can understand the context clues and laugh. The joke isn’t about k-mart or sears.
